Smart Shire Strategy
Smart cities and towns leverage new digital technology – such as free public Wi-Fi, sensors, big data and analytics, online services, smart devices, and real time information – to improve productivity, liveability, creativity and sustainability.
The Smart Shire Strategy was adopted at the Ordinary Meeting of Council on 16 April 2018.

Our eight Western Sydney City Deal Councils population is expected to grow from 1,070,000 in 2016 to over 1,534,450 million by 2036. We provide vital services to our community but face the challenges of growing demand and limited resources.
Therefore we have to find new ways of working and providing services to our community. As part of the transformation process we will be using data to inform decision making such as to advocate for policy change, streamline processes, improve access to information to deliver better services and increase community participation, satisfaction, transparency and economic opportunity.
We’ve also partnered with the Federal and State governments to proactively assess all data with the intention to open as much data as practical and share with each other to support data-driven decision making and deliver better outcomes for our communities across the Western Sydney Parklands.
